Common sense says that people are warming to the relationship of sports and esports. It's just taking time because the former came thousands of years ahead.
That's esports and sports, not ALL videogames and sports. CS 1.6 stood the test of time for so long while remaining mostly the same game throughout, not stringing along the majority with skins. People didn't like change, CSS mostly vanished as a competitive game surviving mainly as a hub for mods and CSGO made a lot of people iffy in beta. It was appreciated as a game that didn't need its core concepts repeatedly turned on their heads to have solid gameplay, just like football and unlike this flavour-of-the-month (year?) game.

cs 1.6 always had tons playing. Quake died because the community, and the devs themselves really never treated it like a sport so they didn't care about skill matching or quitters, for example. Counterstrike coined the term "stacking" just like LoL coined "smurfing". And cs 1.6 always had great auto balance team mods.
Throwing turds against a wall can be sporting and competitive. It really depends if the majority of the community taking it serious enough.. There is also a sense of entitlement and elitism. It all starts in the pubs and with the avg player. You can't say "its just a pub" or only cater to "pro" players and except the game to become respected e-sport.
Pwning noobs is not competitive, and people who get mad about losing are simply sore losers.
